Unfinished – Single.
“Unfinished” Lyrics
Not scared to say it
I used to be the one
Preaching it to you
That you could overcome
I still believe it
But it ain’t easy
‘Cause that world I painted
Where things just all work out
It started changing
And I started having doubts
And it got me so down
But I picked myself back up
And I started telling me
No, my God’s not done
Making me a masterpiece
He’s still working on me
He started something good
And I’m gonna believe it
He started something good
And He’s gonna complete it
So I’ll celebrate the truth
His work in me ain’t through
I’m just unfinished
I know His history
And the kind of God He is
He might make it a mystery
But He’s proving I can trust in Him
And yeah, I believe it
So I can pick myself back up
And keep on telling me
No, my God’s not done
Making me a masterpiece
No, my God’s not done
He started something good
And I’m gonna believe it
He started something good
And He’s gonna complete it
So I’ll celebrate the truth
His work in me ain’t through
I’m just unfinished
So I’ll celebrate the truth
His work in me ain’t through, no
He’s still working
Still, still working on me
I praise the Lord for your life Mandisa.
May He bless you!
Thank you for video message and your beautiful song of praise and worship. Your song and many other Christian songs are VERY uplifting.
Praise & glory to God’s Word of faith and love!
I heard the story behind your song and my heart swelled with emotion. I too lost my best friend to breast cancer April 14, 2015. I just knew Kathy was going to beat it and we would continue on with life as it was prior to the day she was diagnosed. Talking on the phone, sharing stories about our Grandbabies, our children accomplishments in life, getting together and going shopping, but most of all our love of God. Before Kathy went to be with the Lord, she prepared me, told me she was ready, be being selfish, I wasn’t ready to let her go. I’ve gone through a lot since Kathy’s been gone and I always hear her whispering you’ll be fine, keep your faith. I heard your song and realized God is unfinished with me, I have a lot to do here. Thank you for the encouragement. God Bless.
